Its very common for people who raise their voices against the power to get brutally murdered /burned etc
in the same vein today ... one more person gives her life.
This is 14th RTI activist who is dying like this ... clearly RTI is something corrupt people are afraid of.
the news is ( here )
" BHOPAL: In a broad day light murder, an RTI activist and a strong supporter of Anna Hazare's anti-corruption movement, Shehla Masood was shot dead around 11.30 am on Tuesday.
Unidentified assailant shot her dead from point blank range while she was leaving in her car to attend a demonstration in support of Anna Hazare.
About 35 years old, Shehla was still sitting in the driver's seat when she was attacked, however, no one heard any gun shot. When the car didn't move for a while, the family members came out only to find that she had collapsed on one side with blood oozing out from her chest.
She was shot in her chest. The murder took place just in front of her house in Koh-e-Fiza locality of Bhopal. However, more details are still awaited as a post- mortem is still on.
The seriousness of the crime could be ascertained from the fact that the director general of police SK Rout and Additional director general Intelligence Rishi Kumar Shukla also inspected the crime scene along with the IG and SSP of Bhopal.
Shehla was an RTI and a wild life activist and had annoyed many people while seeking information and raising issues.
The crime scene suggested that the murder was executed by some professional killer with a firm arm fitted with a silencer. However, the SSP Bhopal Adarsh katiyar told the TOI "there are many theories coming up but it is too early to say anything about the murder as the post mortem is still on."
Shehla Masood was very active on social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook. Her last status update on facebook said, "Gandhi: "the purpose of civil resistance is provocation." Anna has succeeded in provoking the government and the opposition. Hope he wins us freedom from corruption. Meet at 2 pm Boat Club Bhopal."
Masood didn't reach the venue."
Is it democracy ???? I doubt that we are free yet. The white Britishers left behind their indian versions to loot the nation. and create misfortune and fear.
the question is
Are you scared to rise for the country you love?
Do you love your country ? who will clean it for you .(Do you expect someone to come from outside and clean it up for you)
Update : Its 11:36 pm and I can not sleep (esp after watching the movement thats getting momentam) Google around i find something Snehla Masood complained of. (letter dated 2010)
An IPS officer making threatening calls to her. harassing her since 2008. She gave evidence in form of CD which must have contained the recording. letter is dated 2010 and may not be significant for 2011 but an IPS officer being implicated for harassing a social activist. Now thats going too far.
Same for Anna being picked from his Home and taken directly to Jail. and now not being allowed to go to JP park. Is Govt going nuts.
Was having a disscussion about the role of Sonia Gandhi. and we all in family agreed that she will play the good cop role once she is back from her medical condition which is being treated abroad. (in case the things backfire that is).
